The Importance of Remembering (God's word)

Remembering God and His word to do it

    We must stay focused on the Lord Himself, lest we forget all that
He has commanded us to do, for our own good, and lest we forget all of 
the mighty and wonderful things He has done for us. How He has delivered us from the power of sin and the devil. How He has taken us out of the kingdom of darkness and placed us into the kingdom
of His dear Son, the Son of His love.We must remember the things of God,
the things that pertain to everlasting life. There are three things
that will help us keep God's word fresh in our hearts and minds and they
are prayer, study of the holy scriptures, and meditation.
    The "big three" prayer,study,and meditation are the ways we have
intimate fellowship with God. Jesus said in John 14:26 "But the Comforter
which is the Holy Ghost,whom the Father will send in my name, He shall
teach you all things, and bring all things to your REMEMBRANCE, whatsoever
I have said unto you". We know what Jesus said by reading scripture, the
Holy Ghost uses those scriptures we have read and studied to remind us of those
things as we go about our daily lives.When we meditate on the word of God
we are allowing the Spirit of God to write upon our hearts what thus saith the
Lord. Meditation keeps the word fresh in our minds and at the forefront of
our thoughts. This helps us to pray periodically through out the day according
to the will of God. These prayers will be effectual and ferverent because
they are the words of God that reveal His will. Jesus said in John 6:63 "It is the
spirit that quickeneth;the words that I speak unto they are spirit and they are life".
     Using the big three will give us first hand knowledge of God and
discernment between truth and err. We see in Jeremiah 23:26-27 false prophets
 who prophesied lies and caused the people of God to "forget" the name
of their God and follow after Baal. Today we see the same thing with so called
prophets appealing to people's flesh and saying things that God did not say.
They lure with promises of perfect health, riches and the pleasures of this life,when
God has promised none of these things. People have forgotten that Jesus came
to save the lost, give spiritual sight to the blind,spiritual hearing to the deaf
spiritual riches to the poor,and eternal life to the dead. And now I close with
an exhortation from Jude 1 starting at verse 17. But beloved, REMEMBER ye the
words which were spoken before of the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ. How that
that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after
their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not
 the Spirit. But ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying
in the Holy Ghost. Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy
of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
 

The Importance of Remembering (God's word)

The importance of remembering Gods word; part 1


    The Lord constantly in his word admonishes us to remember His word and all the mighty works that He has done for His people. For some reason, probably because of our fallen nature, we as humans have to be continuously reminded about a lot of things.Wether they be important or insignificant events in our lives, we need reminders to bring those events back to the forefronts of our minds. Calendars, alarms, pasty notes, even the occasional message on the palms of our hands are a few methods that are used to help remember stuff.
    All throughout the old and new testaments are exhortations and warnings from God to think upon the mercies of God and what thus saith the Lord. The following are scriptures that speak of the forgetfulness of the people. Psalm 106:7 "Our fathers when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderous works, they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea,at the Red Sea."  Isaiah 17:10 For you have forgotten the God of your salvation and have remembered the Rock of your refuge, therefore, though you plant pleasant plants and sow the vine-branch of a stranger. 11. though you make them grow on the day that you plant them, and make them blossom in the morning that you sow, yet the harvest will flee away in a day od grief and incurable pain.." Ezekiel 16:22 " And in all your abominations and your whorings you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your blood." And finally Ezekiel 16:43 says " Because you have not remembered the days of your youth, but have enraged me with all these things, therefore, behold, I have returned your deeds upon your heads, saith the Lord God: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations." So we see definite consequences for forgetting the word of God, to do it. James engourages believers to be " ...doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving your own selves." James 1:22.

Resurrection Sunday

As countless people worldwide take time out today to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, I wonder if (we) really fully understand the depths of what took place that day when God raised Jesus from the dead. God the Father declared Jesus to be the Son of God (God the Son), with POWER, according the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.Jesus is not just a man He is the Word made flesh. It is also a testimony that the Father has accepted Jesus perfect sacrifice of Himself as the substitute for sinful man. The blood of Jesus washes away our sins Rev.1:5, but it is the risen Christ that gives eternal life to the forgiven sinner. 1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.  I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead yet shall he live. And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this? John 11:26-27. We will live forever if we put our faith in Jesus Christ. 1 Tim. 3:16  And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the gentiles, believed on in the world, received up in to glory. Jesus, the way, the truth and the life.

Idolatry in the U.N. - Earth Worship

The worship of "Mother Earth" is now being in institutionalized worldwide in the form of U.N. resolutions and mandates. There are now calls from some in the international community to extend human rights to the Earth on which we live. This is very dangerous and if implemented would set in motion an unprecedented legislative enactments that  would eventually lead to forced capitulation of all peoples into Earth worship.  The bible speaks about the creation being worshipped and the creator being rejected and the punishment for such things in Romans 1:16-32. 
          "In January, Bolivia became the world’s first nation to grant the natural environment equal rights to humans. Bolivia’s Law of Mother Earth is heavily influenced by the spiritual indigenous Andean world outlook that revolves around the earth deity Pachamama, roughly translated to Mother Earth."  quote from fox news.com

International Earth Day just happens to falling on Good Friday, a holy day  that some Christians remember Lord for His sacrificial death on the cross. Who do worship, the Creator or the creature.

 

Romans 1:16-32

 ¹⁶For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.    ¹⁷For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
   ¹⁸For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
   ¹⁹Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
   ²⁰For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
   ²¹Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
   ²²Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
   ²³And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
   ²⁴Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
   ²⁵Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
   ²⁶For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
   ²⁷And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
   ²⁸And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
   ²⁹Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
   ³⁰Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
   ³¹Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
   ³²Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

 

The great deciever

As if the people of Detroit don't already have enough problems(because of sin), here come Jeffrey Fieger and Carol Cain suggesting that the City of Detroit should legislate more wickedness into their lives. These evil people have the audacity to say that the legalization of drug use and prostitution would make the city more "attractive". Yeah it will be more attractive alright, to every pervert and weed head in the country. Proverbs 14:34 says that "righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." The rapid deterioration of this nation is the reaping of the ungodly seeds being continually sown on every level of society. From the corrupt institutions of govt., academia, and religion, all the way down to the godless individual who rejects the gospel of Jesus Christ. What we see are floundering elected officials pushing this country headlong into an abyss of economic,moral,and spiritual destruction from which there is no return. And so called experts who fill college campuses with their anti-Christ philosophies hardening the hearts of young minds who are already prepped for deception by the constant brainwashing occurring in the public school system. Fieger and Cain contend that Detroit would gain much needed revenue to help alleviate some woes the city is having, but I'll let you in on a secret, it's not the lack of funds that's hurting Detroit, it's the lack of Jesus in the hearts of the citizens that hurting them. There is no peace says my God to the wicked. Isaiah 57:21. The devil is a liar and the father of lies, and if anyone believes that fornication and the lusts of the flesh will help them, they are totally entrapped in the devils lies.

Dead men walking

Often times while I'm working I'll become sad for, frustrated with, and angry at my co-workers. Most of the time it's not necessarily because of anything they have said or done to me personally, but  just the fact that they don't care about their own souls. Not to mention the price that Jesus paid to save their souls. I asked God to help me to love them, and people in general, like he loves them. So it's difficult sometimes to see them, laugh and joke with them, share our life stories both past and  present, and realize that one day that there is a very real possibility that they will stand before God having rejected Jesus Christ as their Savior. That they could spend all of eternity in unimaginable torment separated from God. What makes it even more difficult for me is knowing that it doesn't have to be, they don't have to be cast into the lake of fire, they don't have to suffer forever, why won't they listen,why won't they accept Christ, why don't they care, uuuhhhhhhh, why why why??? I know God loves them way more than I do so I wonder how much more He is grieved over lost souls.

Is Hell a real place?
